The sixth edition of T-Mobile INmusic festival which will be held on 21st and 22nd June (Tuesday and Wednesday) on the Island of Croatian Youth at Jarun Lake, Zagreb, was presented at the press conference. Beside the household names such as Jamiroquai, Arcade Fire, Nick Cave and Grinderman and TV on the Radio, the festival will host more than forty international and Croatian performs.
The speakers at the press conference were: Zoran Marić, Director of T-Mobile INmusic festival, Maja Weber, Director of T-HT’s Public Relations Department, Dubravka Mičić, Marketing Manager at Zagreb Tourist Board and Aleksandar Dragaš, music critic.
Apart from the music program, the festival will offer a number of other supporting events, the main novelty being the festival TV channel available in MAXtv offer.
"T-Mobile INmusic festival will present a versatile music program, this year as well, on six festival stages in total. The novelty in the music program is presentation of new and interesting European musicians who will be given the opportunity to perform together with British and American performers dominating the music festivals. For this part of the program we have received EU support within the Culture 2007-2013 program.
Despite the fact that the value of the festival has been recognized by the European Union, the City of Zagreb has not given adequate support to the festival yet. But we hope that this will finally change", said Zoran Marić, Director of T-Mobile INmusic festival.
The channel will feature, on a daily basis, different contents related to festival performers, their video clips, interviews and concert recordings. Musicians interested in performing at the festival will present their music on MAXtv channel, within the competition for bands "So, you have a band and a video clip? Send a video clip and play at T-Mobile INmusic festival".
The audience will be given the opportunity to vote for their favorite band via MAXtv red button, from 23 May to 12 June, within three competition rounds, and in this way choose competition winners. Three bands with the highest number of votes will perform on the main stage of T-Mobile INmusic festival. “We are pleased to provide support, this year again, in the realization of one of the best music festivals in Europe – T-Mobile INmusic. The cutting-edge technology will be put once again at the service of first-rate music.
MAXtv and tportal will introduce a number of novelties, which will bring the festival even closer to the wide public. The exclusive T-Mobile INmusic festival channel will soon be launched on MAXtv, which will make it possible for us to hear the bands participating at the INmusic festival, as well as Croatian up-and-coming bands which submit their entries for the festival.
